Two men arrested after mutually consensual knife fight

Two men, 28 and 29, have been detained by police in central Sweden after reaching a mutual agreement to slash each other with knives. The men were found bloodied and in a state of distress at an apartment block in Kungsör, 130 kilometres west of Stockholm, on Saturday afternoon. The pair had been sitting watching films together when they got the idea to start cutting each other up with knives, local newspaper Vestmanlands Läns Tidning (VLT) reports. (This is Sweden with universal healthcare.)

I agree that they should not have been arrested for their "consentual" violence, but they should definitely be handed the bill for their medical care and emergency response, otherwise they are defrauding the taxpayers who support the national healthcare system in Sweden.
